Abstract
The objective of the study was to investigate the 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) penetration into the dentinal tubules after different irrigation methods. Seventy canines were stained with 1% crystal violet and divided into groups (n = 20): GEC-EasyClean; GPUI-E1 Irrisonic ultrasonic insert; GXP-XP-Endo finisher; GPC-conventional irrigation and GNC-stained tooth without irrigation. Axial sections (16×) were assessed and irrigant penetration was quantified as a bleaching halo on the surface of the apical, middle and coronal third. In the apical third, GPUI promoted greater NaOCl penetration (p < 0.05). GXP was better than GEC (p < 0.05), as was GPC (p > 0.05). The GPUI and GXP groups were similar in the middle and coronal third (p > 0.05). GPUI and GXP showed better results than GEC (p < 0.05). GPUI was more effective in the apical third and like GXP in the cervical and middle third.

[PMID: 36496126 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2022.103237] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/13/2022] [Revised: 11/12/2022] [Accepted: 12/06/2022] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND One critical issue that impairs the therapeutic effects of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in root canal disinfection is the insufficient penetration of photosensitizer into dentinal tubules. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the treatments in enhancing photosensitizers' penetrability for aPDT in root canal therapy. METHODS Thirty premolars with a single root canal were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10), using Methylene blue (MB) as a photosensitizer and treated with different approaches: sonic-assisted diffusing group, ultrasonic-assisted diffusing group and the control without treatment. All specimens were observed by stereomicroscope to measure the penetration depth of MB into dentinal tubules. RESULTS Both sonic and ultrasonic treatments substantially improved the penetrability of MB. The former achieved a deeper penetration depth than the latter did in the same region of root (P<0.05). Regarding the dye penetration depths at different root regions, the control group showed a declining trend from coronal to apical. In contrast, the penetration depths of sonic and ultrasonic-assisted diffusing groups from highest to lowest were middle > coronal > apical (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that both sonic and ultrasonic treatments remarkably promoted MB's penetration depth into dentinal tubules. Maximum penetration was achieved when treated with a sonic approach.

Odontology 2022; 110:786-794.

Abstract
To investigate the efficacy of a new laser irrigation activation system [shock wave-enhanced emission photo-acoustic streaming (SWEEPS)] in terms of postoperative pain after primary root canal treatment compared with other techniques, namely photon-induced photo-acoustic streaming (PIPS), sonic system with EDDY, passive ultrasonic system (PUI), and manual dynamic activation (MDA). Two hundred patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in mandibular premolar teeth were enrolled and randomly allocated to five different irrigation activation groups (n = 40) after chemo-mechanical root canal preparation. For irrigation activation, the SWEEPS and PIPS tips were attached to the Er-YAG laser system in the respective groups, while the Irrisafe tip was used in the PUI group and the EDDY tip in the sonic group. In the MDA group, irrigation was agitated with the master gutta-percha cone. At postoperative hours 8, 24, and 48 and on day 7, pain intensity was evaluated using the 10-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and analgesic intake was recorded. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to analyze the VAS scores, and pain prevalence and analgesic intake were examined with the Pearson's chi-square test at the 5% significance level. The PIPS and SWEEPS groups had the lowest level and prevalence of pain when compared to the remaining groups (P < 0.001). The PUI, sonic and MDA groups did not differ in terms of pain scores at hours 8 and 48 (P > 0.05). On day 7, the highest score and pain prevalence were recorded in the MDA group (P < 0.001). There was no difference between the groups in terms of analgesic intake (P > 0.05). Laser-activated irrigation systems provided lower postoperative pain scores and levels compared to the other activation systems. The MDA group had the highest pain scores and incidence at the end of the seventh day.

PHOTOBIOMODULATION PHOTOMEDICINE AND LASER SURGERY 2020; 38:694-702. [PMID: 33103954 DOI: 10.1089/photob.2020.4821] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Objective: We developed an implantable wireless blue micro light-emitting diode (micro-LED) device and evaluated the utility of continuous antimicrobial blue light (aBL) irradiation emitted from this micro-LED for root canal disinfection. Methods: An implantable wireless blue micro-LED device (peak wavelength: 410 nm, maximum power: 15 mW) was developed to be placed in the root canal. Optical transmission of the device in human dentin tissue was simulated using Monte Carlo ray-tracing method. The bactericidal effect of low-level aBL on planktonic root canal infection-related bacteria [Enterococcus faecalis, methicillin-resistant Streptococcus aureus (MRSA), and Prevotella intermedia] was evaluated by colony counting. The biocompatibility of continuous low-level aBL exposure was evaluated by infrared thermal imaging and cell viability tests. Thirty extracted intact human single-rooted teeth were prepared and the root canals were infected with E. faecalis for 14 days to form biofilm. The infected root canals were randomly divided into three groups (n = 10), and treated with normal saline (group NS), calcium hydroxide (group CH), and micro-LED device (group aBL) for 3 and 7 days. The bactericidal effect of each group was evaluated by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results: Monte Carlo simulation showed that blue light irradiation of the micro-LED device decreased exponentially with the light transmission distance through human dentin tissue. Planktonic E. faecalis, MRSA, and P. intermedia were significantly eliminated after irradiation with 432, 36, and 1.35 J/cm2 aBL, respectively (p < 0.05). Infrared thermal imaging and cell viability tests showed that continuous aBL exposure is biocompatible in vitro. CLSM and SEM analyses revealed that the micro-LED device had a greater antimicrobial effect than CH on E. faecalis biofilm in the root canal. Conclusions: The wireless blue micro-LED device is a promising and user-friendly approach for root canal disinfection that will facilitate infection control in the root canal using aBL.
